Weather planning and decisions
← Back to full FAQDoes WeatherPerch replace official weather warnings?
No. WeatherPerch can provide forecasts, hazards, radar, and weather information, but official weather agencies and emergency authorities should be treated as the authoritative source for warnings and emergency instructions. This distinction is especially important during tornadoes, hurricanes, severe thunderstorms, floods, extreme heat, winter storms, marine hazards, and other dangerous events. WeatherPerch can help users monitor the overall weather picture and identify relevant alerts, but if an official warning is issued, follow the instructions provided by the responsible authorities. Forecasts are inherently uncertain, and no consumer weather website can guarantee that every localized hazard will be identified or predicted perfectly.
